Record review of Resident #132's BIM's assessment, completed 5/27/25, revealed a BIM's score of 15, which indicated cognition was intact. Record review of Resident #132's care plan, dated 5/26/25, revealed the resident uses antianxiety medication Xanax with interventions to administer medicines as ordered by a physician. Record review of Resident #132 order summary, dated May 2025, revealed an order for Xanax oral tablet 0.5 mg, give one tablet by mouth every 8 hours as needed for anxiety indefinite.

F 0605 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few During an Interview with the Nursing Supervisor on 5/27/25 at 8:25 AM, it was confirmed Resident #132 had an order for Xanax 0.5 mg every 8 hours PRN indefinite, and the order should have only been for 14 days. The Nursing Supervisor stated she did not know why the order was written over 14 days, as overuse could place Resident # 132 at risk for respiratory depression.

F 0842 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in accordance with accepted professional standards. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on the interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure, in accordance with accepted professional standards and practices, that medical records were accurately maintained for each resident, as documented for 1 of 4 residents (Resident #132) reviewed for the accuracy of their medical records. The facility failed to ensure that documentation on Resident #132's chart accurately reflected an allergy to Azithromycin (an Antibiotic). This failure could place residents at risk of receiving improper care. Findings included: Record review of Resident #132's face sheet, dated 5/27/25, revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included: hypertension (medical term used when the force of your blood against arterial walls is consistently too high), asthma (condition in which a person's air ways becomes inflamed, which makes it difficult to breath), and anxiety disorder (mental condition characterized by excessive and persistent feelings of fear, that significantly interferes with daily life function). Record review of face sheet for Resident #132, dated 5/27/25, revealed no allergies. Record review of Resident #132's BIM's assessment, completed 5/27/25, revealed a BIM's score of 15, which indicated cognition was intact. Record review of Resident #132's hospital discharge paperwork, dated 5/22/25, revealed an allergy to azithromycin (an antibiotic). Record review of Resident #132's monthly physician order summary for May 2025 reflected no orders for azithromycin. Interview with Resident #132 on 5/27/25 at 10:55 AM revealed she had an allergy to azithromycin (an antibiotic), which causes severe skin itching if consumed. Interview with LVN A on 5/29/25 at 9:15 AM revealed that she was the admission nurse on 5/24/25 and was not informed in a hospital nurse report that Resident #132 had any allergies; she only reviewed the medication list from the hospital to enter orders. LVN A noted that she must have missed the allergy to azithromycin when transcribing orders, and that Resident #132 risked having an allergic reaction if she was prescribed azithromycin since it was not accurately documented on the face sheet. Interview with the Nursing Supervisor on May 29, 2025, at 10:20 a.m. revealed she was responsible for auditing new admissions for accuracy. Because Resident #132 was admitted on Saturday, 5/24/25, and Monday, 5/26/25, was a holiday, she was unable to verify the orders for accuracy. The Nursing Supervisor added that the allergies not reflected on the Resident #132's face sheet could lead a physician to possibly prescribe azithromycin, which could result in an allergic reaction.
